"SHOW BOAT" BACK AGAIN The music of "Show Boat," coinposed by Jerome Kern, with lyrics by Oscar Hainmerstcin H., has gained such popularity that all the original numbers were retained in TJniversal 's 1936 screen version of the Edna Ferber classic, which is again sh owing at the State Theatre. • The hit numbers of the play include "Make Believe" and "Why Do I Lovd You?" duets rendered by Irene Dunne and Allan Jones. Helen Morgan does two numbers that she has made famous, "Bill" and "Can't Help Lovin' That Man " Other songs are "Old Fashioned Wife," "Cotton Blossom," "After the Ball ' ' by Charles K. Harris, and "Goodbye, My Lady Love, " by Joseph Howard. Paul Robeson, the world-Te-nowned baritone, sings "Old Man River" and a new offering, "Ah Still Suits Me." A new duet number, "I Have the Room Above Her," is presented by Irene Dunne and Allan Jones. Miss Dunne also has a sprightly tune called "Gallivantin' Around." One of the special features of the production is a chorus of 200 voices that weave a spell with unusual rhythmic tone pattems.
